==[[Hemochromatosis overview|Overview]]==
'''Hemochromatosis''' is a [[hereditary disease]] characterized by improper dietary [[iron]] [[metabolism]] (making it an [[iron overload disorder]]), which causes the accumulation of [[iron]] in a number of body tissues.<ref>[http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/hemochromatosis/ Iron Overload and Hemochromatosis] Centers for Disease Control and Prevention</ref> Iron accumulation can eventually cause end organ damage, most importantly in the [[pancreas]] manifesting as [[diabetes]], and [[liver]] failure.  It is estimated that roughly one in every 300-400 people are affected by the disease, primarily of Northern European and Anglo-English descent.

The disease was first described in 1865 by [[Armand Trousseau]] in an article on [[Diabetes mellitus|diabetes]] in patients with changing skin color.<ref name=":0">name=Trousseau_1865>{{cite journal | author = Trousseau A| title = Glycosurie, diabète sucré | journal = Clinique médicale de l'Hôtel-Dieu de Paris | year = 1865 | volume = 2| pages = 663&ndash;98 | url= }}</ref> Trousseau did not connect the [[diabetes]] with [[iron]] accumulation; instead this was done by [[Friedrich Daniel von Recklinghausen]] in 1890.<ref name=":1">{{cite journal | author = von Recklinghausen FD | title = Hämochromatose | journal = Tageblatt der Naturforschenden Versammlung 1889 | year = 1890 | pages = 324 | url= }}</ref><ref>[http://www.whonamedit.com/doctor.cfm/1174.html Biography of Daniel von Recklinghausen]</ref> The mutation of human genome to increase iron absorption in people who are exposed to iron deficient diet is evolutionary stand point. Hemocromatosis is also known as Celtic Curse.


==[[Hemochromatosis classification|Classification]]==
==[[Hemochromatosis classification|Classification]]==
Hemochromatosis is divided on basis of it's etiology. Hereditary hemochromatosis is caused by defect in gene and secondary hemochromatosis is caused by excess absorption of iron, repeated blood transfusions, or excess oral intake, typically in patients with disorders of erythropoiesis.


==[[Hemochromatosis pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
==[[Hemochromatosis pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
Hemochromatosis is due to unchecked transfer of iron into the bloodstream in the absence of increased erythropoietic needs and its toxic effects in parenchymatous organs.
